KEN MATTOX, MD, AND MARSHALL COTHRAN WIN AMA AWARDS
Two
stalwart members of the Texas family of medicine were honored at the AMA House
of Delegates meeting. Houston trauma surgeon Ken Mattox, MD, received the 2013 AMA Benjamin Rush Award for
Citizenship and Community Service. The award is given “for outstanding
contributions to the community for citizenship and public service above and
beyond the call of duty as a practicing physician.” Dr. Mattox was recognized
for his service in Houston’s medical response to several natural disasters,
including hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 and Tropical Storm Allison in
2001. Marshall Cothran, CEO of the Travis County Medical Society and
the Blood and Tissue Center of Central Texas, received the Medical Executive
Meritorious Achievement Award. AMA gives this award to a medical society
executive who has provided exemplary and exceptional service that benefits and
supports physicians in caring for their patients. This contribution “is
exemplary beyond the normal scope of their duties or responsibilities.”
